Take one abrasive professional athlete, a quirky out-of-work schoolteacher, and an overweight geriatric dog, and you’re ready for a lesson in love…Tippy style.
Pro baseball pitcher Cal Crawford is not a dog guy. When he inherits his deceased mother’s elderly dog, Tippy, he’s quick to call on a pet-sitting service.

As Gina travels through Cal’s world with Tippy in tow, she begins to see Cal in a different light. Gina longs to show Cal the God-given blessings in his life that have nothing to do with baseball or fame. When her longing blooms into attraction, Gina does her best to suppress it. But Cal is falling in love with her too…
Discover the charming story of Tippy, the dog who brought a family together.

Summary
\"There's just something about Tippy\", the overweight, sluggish, key snatching, geriatric dog. When pro baseball player Cal Crawford hires a dog sitter, for a dog that he doesn't even want, that he inherited from his recently deceased mother; help arrives in a small, full¬of¬smiles, junk food loving package named Gina Palmer. Gina and Tippy manage to turn Cal Crawford's carefully constructed world upside down and all around, beginning with a pitching mound accident and ending with more unadulterated fan fame than Cal could have ever imagined. As Cal's career accelerates, Gina seems totally at ease with the thoughtful, kind, generous man behind the public eye. As often happens, things change, leaving Cal to decide whether or not baseball is all that he is or just a part of who he wants to be. Leave it to Tippy to help him decide whether or not to \"sit, stay, and love\". Another witty, totally enjoyable, story by Dana Mentink that will certainly warm the hearts of animal lovers and beyond! She was kind enough to provide me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
